Another innovative design concept from Nokia, the morph concept. Featured in The Museum of Modern Art ?Design and The Elastic Mind? exhibition, the Morph concept device is a bridge between highly advanced technologies and their potential benefits to end-users. Developed by NRC (Nokia Research Center) in collaboration with the Cambridge Nanoscience Centre (United Kingdom), Morph is a concept phone that using nanotechnology which enables materials and components that are flexible, stretchable, transparent and remarkably strong. Users should be able to transform their cell phone into different shapes.

From the website : “Morph concept technologies might create fantastic opportunities for mobile devices: * Newly-enabled flexible and transparent materials blend more seamlessly with the way we live
* Devices become self-cleaning and self-preserving
* Transparent electronics offering an entirely new aesthetic dimension
* Built-in solar absorption might charge a device, whilst batteries become smaller, longer lasting and faster to charge
* Integrated sensors might allow us to learn more about the environment around us, empowering us to make better choices”

We probably see this technology another 5-7 years in the future, by using nanotechnology, hopefully can lead to low cost manufacturing solutions and the possibility of integrating complex functionality at a low price.

I'm totaly getting one of these when they are sold n america, but only if they have them for verison and other phone providers…. You can't buy one now because i don't think that any american phone companys(canada,us, mexico) would give it to you because i bet they can't even get there hands on it yet!

Okay, Like, be for real! This thing isn't coming out until maybe.. 2034. Or something.. It just can't be that possible. I see some things on this website and it blows my mind about how worked up the economy is about this sort of thing!!

This could be very real in 10 years. It won’t take 20 years or 30.. 2034 is a really unrealistic assessment. Holographic technology is already a reality, just need to make it work for this. Nanotechnology too.
